No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2012 Challenge!

CompletelyLost

I'm feeling feel rather proud of myself! I went into Boots to see if the ACM would give me the 250 points off voucher for dental care but I never got that one

OUT: 2x body butters. These were a xmas gift but I can't use them as they were coconut, sooooo returned and exchanged for my beloved Clinique eye cream. Paid £2 extra with my giftcard so essentially it was free! (and I did need it... honest ) plus I got my freebie Clinique mascara from the trade-in.

Checked ACM to see what offers it had, but the 250 points for dental care products wasn't there I did get one for £1 off a £5 spend, and also 100 points off any lipstick/mascara, but I didn't use them.

Sold three items on ebay at the weekend. And finally...

UU: Collection 2000 Eye Definer
Probably the first eyeliner I've ever used up in full (I usually lose them)! WNBA as although this is very black, it has no staying power at all.

So I'm up to 13 UU/OUT for 2012.

pickle- I use Toni & Guy iron it heat defence spray and I think it's amazing. It smells lovely and I can definitely tell when I haven't used it. I haven't bought a bottle in ages as I've been using the stash and it looking on the boots website it seems to have been replaced with this:

*sigh* it was a HG and my bottle feels worryingly light:(

Right - budge up on the naughty step I have my first spend of the year

Went to BS to use my voucher combo - didn't quite get the bargain I wanted as the SA said I couldn't use my 8th stamp £10 unless there was still £10 left after the discount. So I got £30.25 of stuff (sale prices - about £65 pre sale prices) for £10.25. A set of the candied ginger went away in the gift box, another set of ginger and some Vanilla to OH for his gift box (for me ) and a xmas pud sponge away for DD's stocking next year. Leaving me with IN's of:

1 x Vanilla & 1 X Candied Ginger Handcream

I also popped to SD and got some of their BOG2F SD Dry Shampoo so I have them to declare too.

Didn't get anything from WS and am giving OH the voucher to buy stuff with - saw some nice pencils and notepads but the prices (even sale prices) are :eek: so would feel better if it was used for gifts rather than just 'stuff I don't really need'

Boots at 7am tomorrow :eek: just need to stick to my list and not buy anything that isn't needed

Nothing much to report here except I'm so broke and its encouraging me not to buy more toiletries I don't need so that's a good thing huh:)

Dare I even say that, as my Mum mentioned she'd be in town tomorrow, I've asked her to go to Boots for me and get some goodies. I can't believe that despite an overflowing stash I still can't let my love of a bargain go and am asking a pensioner to go in there for me..... mind you, by 10am the shelves will probably be bare!

Yes I'm not happy that Toni and Guy have changed all the products for curly hair - the old ones were brilliant - luckily I have a few in my stash

L'oreal telescopic explosion mascara - WNBA! Awful silly wand shape, used it twice, hate it!
L'Oreal Matte Morphose Foundation WNBA - though it is nice and so easy to apply/blend.
Agent Provocateur, l'agent sample. Possibly WBA.

Whats the deal with Kipling Bags, I don't have one but know those that do love them. Whats the secret?

TBS Moringa shower gel - It was alright but I like Lush soaps more than this so WNBA

Emmarillo, have you thought about Ebaying some of your stash? It is very impressive but will you be able to use it before it goes off? Worth a try maybe. Well done for coming clean (no pun intended) about your collection!
